Geoheritage Resources and An Assessment on the Comprehensive Utilization Value of Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark,China
Comprehensive utilization value of a geoheritage is an important scientific factor for geoparks to carry out the protection,development and utilization of geoheritage resources,however,currently there are no clear solutions on how to perform an objective and quantitative assessment.According to the Technical Requirement on the Formulation of National Geopark Plan,this study categorized the geoheritage resources into 5 major cate-gories,11 categories,and 14 subcategories according to field investigations.Moreover,we introduced the char-acteristics of the typical geoheritage resources in Hong Kong Global Geopark.Taking the typical geoheritage re-sources of Hong Kong Global Geopark as the research object and adopting the analytic hierarchy processes and methods,the paper selected 15 specific evaluation indicators under four evaluation factors,such as natural at-tributes,value attributes,conservation management,and development and utilization conditions.Further,we established the value evaluation indicator system for the geoheritage resources of Hong Kong Global Geopark,and determined the indicator weights for the value evaluation system of the geoheritage resources.According to the scoring standard,experts were invited to judge the comprehensive value of geoheritage.The evaluation mo-del of comprehensive utilization value of geoheritage was used and received a score of 90.27 for the comprehen-sive utilization value evaluation of the geoheritage in Hong Kong Global Geopark,which ranks as a first-class tourism resource.This study provides a scientific example for the in-depth management,protection,develop-ment and utilization of the geoheritage in Hong Kong Global Geopark,and also provides a good reference case for other Geoparks.
